Firstly, let's clarify something that is frequently confused: translation vs. interpreting. The former refers to written information, whereas the latter refers to spoken information. As similar as they may seem, they are very different practices.

Translation is both a process and a product. Broadly speaking, the translation process consists of transferring the cultural and linguistic information of a source language to a target language.

However, translation can also be thought of as the final product delivered to a client, that is, the result obtained through a series of steps in a translation workflow.

At ALP, we ensure that the following items can be found in our translations:

- Lexical accuracy (no mistranslations)
- Cultural equivalence (sometimes this will require further work if for marketing purposes, please refer to our Adaptation tab)
- Consistency in terminology (different translations of the same word can confuse your readers)
- Target-language-oriented readability (to give the look and feel that your document was created specifically for your target market).

Contact us if you would like to know more information about our translation workflow.
